Here’s the LG Shine Touch. It’s a touch screen device with a 3″ 400×240 display, 3 megapixel camera and WiFi. The back has a metalic finish which reminds me of the original LG Shine.

It’s available on Rogers now.

You can visit LG’s website to download a song from Jason Derulo plus be entered for a chance to win a $5,000 shopping spree in Los Angeles at LG.ca/shinetouch

The Samsung Galaxy Spica (it’s pronounced speak-ah (I hope Samsung  doesn’t try to sell this one in Mexico)).

It’s similar to the Samsung Galaxy I reviewed a while back but it adds a 800Mhz Samsung processor (up from a 528Mhz Qualcomm) plus if I remember correctly the Spica will get a Android 2.1 upgrade eventually. The Spica lacks the original Galaxy’s 5 megapixel camera and has 2GB instead of 8GB of built in memory.

It’s 79.99 on a 3 year voice and data plan.

It’s a touchscreen device with a slide out keyboard, 3.1″ 480×320 display and 5 megapixel camera.

You can sign up for more info here and be entered to win 1 of 5 DEXT’s.

The BACKFLIP comes with Motorola’s Android customization called MOTOBLUR.

It’s got Android 1.5, a 5 MP camera with LED flash, QWERTY keyboard, 480×320 touch screen plus  Gmail, Google Maps, Google Talk, AIM, Live Messenger, Yahoo Instant messenger support. The keyboard is located on the back of the device and the screen flips around. You can also leave the keyboard facing down and only partially flip the screen so you can use it like a picture frame.

Pricing and available have yet to be annouced.

Well it turns out they were listening. Rogers has made 3 changes to WhoCalled:

First and most importantly you’ll only get notified if you were out of service when you received the calls. That means no more notifications when you ignore a call from a telemarketer/private number.

Secondly the WhoCalled message now has the number and time on one line

Thirdly now you can call the number you missed from the text message.
